There were some birds in the first video that sounded pretty upset also that your van was leaving......

Or perhaps they wanted to jump inside and visit NYC.

First, off good to hear the van is still in our ASV family. Second, the van looks sweet. Third, it sounds awesome. Although not really the proper time and place to ask, What does it have for exhaust?

single flow master, nothing special, cat has been removed only because it was broken p inside an was clogging the air flow, I didnt have any cash on hand at the moment so I just had a tube put in to replace the cat till I coyuld find a better flowing cat then have it put back in place.....I never got around to doing that and plus liked the sound.

It was possibly a Flowmaster 40 series, they always sound deep and throaty, I have a 3inch in and out on my van.

no headers or anything and yes a single 40 series flowmaster with I believe 2 3/4 inch in and out, might have to ask the new owner to confirm about the piping sizes.

ASTRO HAS ARRIVED!!... :D

The van arrived Thursday @ Midnight, 5/29. I wasn't there to recieve it because I was working. I was told everything went well untill I saw the van later that morning! The driver backed the van into his truck!! He bent the bracket and damaged the bumper cover. I contacted them and they did say they would repair it. Other than that I must say I was very excited and pleased when I saw the van. Cant wait to get started..
